How very, very dear his beautiful
boy had been to the young father. none
but God might know.
For long time they were very quiet,
Eva's sobs alone breaking the stiffness.
until at last those ceased and Richard
said softly:
"Evvie !"
Eyes, dearf'
How many long months had passed
since she had heard the dear old pet
name from his lips how many more
since she had spoken one endearing
word to him! The sound Of them now
carried them back to the old, happy
days before harsh words had been
spoken or unkind feelings held sway.

Eyes. DEAR" Eva said softly, divin-
ing intuitively, in her new-found SYM
pathy with her husband, the wish he
could not express.
Rising quietly she passed out of the
room. In few minutes she returned,
bearing the dead babe in her arms.
All the violence of her grief seemed
hushed into stiffness in the presence Of
death.
Seating herself on the side of the bed,
she turned her precious burden tender
ly until the fathers eve could rest on
its face, his hands touch it without
change of position.
Never in the full flush of health and
infantile beauty had their boy looked
more lovely than now. as, robed for the
grave, he lay in his mothers arms.
The fatal wound had been deity con-
cealed, and the locks of hair fell over
the white forehead in soft, curling rings
the long lashes of the blue-veined
lids lay lightly on the fair, round cheek
the sweet, curved lips just parted with
a smile. and the pretty dimpled hands
were crossed on the lifeless breast.
Too fair and beautiful he seemed for
the coffin-the cold, dark grave.
The white lips of the young father
quivered. and the large tears forced
their way from beneath the trembling
eyelids. as he lay his hand on the head
of Lis darling boy. Then his hand
fell softly upon Eva's, with a gentle,
loving clasp.
''Our darling Harry is safe in a bet
ter world" he said at last, in a voice
broken by emotion. land let us, dear,
make his death the beginning of new
life of thoughtfulness and forbearance,

And Eva, touching her lips with
tender reverence to the fair, cold fore
head of her darling. said softly:

that the death of my precious boy has
not been in vain. Jennie Porter

And thought Of the Joys and sorrows

And never o lack OF food,
But kiss now and then and o word OF praise

And when he went home that day

on the subject OF rsdistricting As found in

The different counties of this State
shall be laid OF. as the General Assembly
NAV direct, into districts Of convenient
size. so that the whole number in each
county shall not be more than twenty i've.
or four for every one hundred square
miles"
1t is ascertained, by a calculation, that
there are only three hundred and seventy
square miles in the county, which entities
The county to only fifteen distriets-three
less than we now have. II is the opinion
Of legal -gOutIeH,en ,gas the constitutions
number Of square miles is as essential n
voters in determining the number Of civil

twenty five districts there u BE al
